Default I had enough!!!!!!!!

I am tired of working on this pos of mine. Today was the last straw when I had to change the oil. I have never had to change the oil in any of my other cars!. I am going to finish changing the oil, and it's going on craigslist!

I remember my new wiper blades didn't fit, had to take them to a machine shop to line bore them. Cost me $3 f-ing dollars. Luckly I got money back on my tax return that year.

you think you have problems? Need to change the antifreeze in my turn signals so they don't keep blinking as I drive down the road and to top that off, was told I need new piston return springs inside the engine.

I'm waiting for the "Self driving kit" that I can install on my car. I'm tired of driving a performance vehicle and am looking forward to being chauffeured around.
